It's so disappointing to see such a skater of Brandon's caliber have such a disappointing skate. And he didn't even try the quad. :( Ah well, another headcase from the USA, all this makes me wish to have Evan Lysacek back. With his you can count on reliability and consistency, as well as being a nice all around skater. Jmho.

Another painful outing for Mroz. I feel for him. Unlike Tonia, I think Carmen was a terrible choice for him. Not one drop of seductiveness in the long Habanera section. He has a Don Jose personality these days, they should use Don Jose music. (It happens to be beautiful too.)

I think he choose Carmen hoping that the music would carry him without his having to but in too much effort. The music has the ability to make a good skate feel like a great one...but if your not even going to put out one good skate all season...Bizet can only take you so far. Mroz seems to have dedicated the lion's share of his training to the quad lutz and in the short term that didn't help him. Maybe he can find a good balance after by next season.
